SALON/ ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION: Accelerating Start-ups

Innovation is expensive. Approximating the cost of building up innovation culture resembles of environmental full cost accounting, it is so hard to agree where the triple bottom line exactly is. This massive investment may not be recoverable over one generation. Venture capital alone seems not the answer any more: scarcity of great ideas, too much cost, too few exists, plummeting profitability.

How to unlock the next wave of innovation?

The idea of start-up acceleration was born in 2005 in Silicon Valley, by 2011 there had been over 200 accelerators across US and Europe, private, public and non-profit. What is their role in fostering innovation culture? What value do they bring. How efficient and profitable they are? Can they bridge the entrepreneurship education gap? Can they start the new wave of innovation? These and other questions will set up the scene for the next Entrepreneuria Salon meeting.
